It's February 26th, a Monday. My last blog post was January 7th, which means it's been a little less than two months since I last updated you all on any new readings or general things. University studies consume most of my daily life. I have little time to do much else when I finish 12 … Continue reading Where have I been? (+2 Recommendations)

Through school, I'm sure everyone's had … Continue reading My Struggle with Interpreting Literature

Dogs are always made out to be easily distractable. Any thought a dog has is interrupted by—SQUIRREL! That is my brain when I see new and interesting book covers. As of writing this, I have 41 books I have not read yet. Books that piqued my interest with either phenomenal cover design or a summary … Continue reading Impulse Book-Buying vs. My Actual Bookshelf
